Hmmm....I use ProGold Prolink lube and let it dry. Then I wipe the chain links until there's nothing on the cloth. I never get anything on my clothes or car bed, in fact hardly any grease at all on my hand even if I have to refit the chain. Try using a less messy lube or less of it and wiping the chain after it dries, maybe?
